This charming timber-clad retreat for two welcomes you and your canine bestie for a restful getaway amid rolling Devon countryside. Sniff out rural adventure with hikes in the beautiful Blackdown Hills, visits to historic castles, and dreamy canal-side strolls, before settling down to enjoy the views from your private garden or snuggling up inside the cosy interior.
Stroll past the cattle of the working dairy farm with your hound on the lead and take the five open, wooden steps to the front door of this charming escape. Welcoming comfort awaits you and your bestie inside, where a curved ceiling and wooden floor complement the country-style decor. The compact kitchen has been carefully designed to be both pretty and practical, with a Belfast sink below the window, and even a dishwasher to help clean up after meals. Dine at the breakfast bar before settling on the comfortable sofa, your hound at your heels, and enjoying a show on the Smart TV. The king-size bed is at the far end of this delightful studio space, with an elegant shower room leading off the opposite end. For fresh air and al fresco frolics, take a drink or a meal to the patio while your pet plays on the enclosed lawn. Shared tennis courts are also available, and there is ample private parking.
Head to historic Tiverton, 6 miles, to find independent shops and inviting places to eat, and the start of a beautiful walk along the towpath of the Grand Western Canal. Pet-friendly Bickleigh Castle is 10 miles away, while dogs are welcome in the gardens, parkland, shops, and cafe at the National Trust's Knightshayes, 5 miles away. To explore the Blackdown Hills, you could follow a circular 5-mile route from Culmstock, 9 miles, which follows the river and passes a working woollen mill.
